91d47123f2 library: finally circumvent libnuma memory leak <stat>
Still unhappy with a minor memory leak associated with
libnuma, I experimented with omitting the dlclose that
was issued at module's end. For some reason which will
remain a mystery, the valgrind leak then went bye-bye.

So this patch just omits one use of dlclose and relies
on whatever kernel magic is at work to free the memory
when each process ends. We kept, however, the original
code (now commented-out) to serve as a future caution.

There remains one potential (but unlikely) dlclose use
near the original dlopen. But there will be no leak as
that 'numa_node_of_cpu' will not yet have been called.
This seems to be the culprit that triggers such leaks.

None of this libnuma shit would likely have come close
to hitting our fan had the numa developers provided us
with 'new' and 'unref' functions like our newlib does.

e02d9f554d pmap: fix printing bug associated with the '-x' option
Ever since its introduction, the 'x' (extended format)
option has employed strncmp to parse those smaps keys.

Such an approach worked well as long as those prefixes
were guaranteed to be unique. But, with the 4.3 kernel
a new 'SwapPss' field was added to those within smaps.

That triggered a 2nd match for the 'Swap' logic which,
in turn, resulted in a duplicate output line of zeros.

So this patch just trades strncmp for strcmp, avoiding
potential future problems when /proc/$$/smaps evolves.

834ed434c9 library: normalize stack and history allocation naming
Recent profiling and timings have resulted in improved
newlib performance. This patch completes that process.

It just normalizes naming conventions employed for all
allocations involving reaped stacks & history support.

The modules offering a 'reap' function will also offer
the now standardized corresponding STACKS_INCR define.

The modules which provide dynamic history support will
now have a separate #define called NEWOLD_INCR used in
allocations/reallocations. And, while values currently
are set equal to that STACKS_INCR value, in the future
some reason for divorcing those two may be discovered.

----------------------------- for future reference ---

In those modules which contain the STACKS_INCR #define
it is tempting to specify a large value so as to avoid
repeated calls to malloc/realloc. However, in doing so
an extra runtime price will be paid in 'cleanup_stack'
calls with any iterative programs like top or slabtop.

So, with the current values a balance has been sought.

b53fb7f8ea top: avoid yet more overhead of accessing /proc/status
After discovering those terrible costs associated with
/proc/status vs. /proc/stat, our library changed so as
to favor the latter if a field could be met by either.

Well, low-and-behold, this top program had chosen some
item enumerators that needlessly caused 'status' to be
accessed when 'statm' could be used instead. And while
top's needs require conversion from pages to KiB, that
is still far less costly than that damn 'status' file.

[ this was found when comparing newlib top against a ]
[ 3.2.8 ancient top since the current master top was ]
[ suffering from the exact same 'status' deficiency. ]

[ and, no way was top-3.2.8 going to beat newlib top ]
[ by 50% - we'll allow only a 1-10% occasional loss! ]

3ac040d047 library: revert one ancient 'escape_str_utf8' deletion
Profiling revealed a large amount of time spent in the
'escape_str_utf8' function (escape.c) with both of our
NLS branches (newlib and master). That same result was
not seen under an ancient top-3.2.8 program & library.

Well, the 3.2.8 result was ultimately explained by the
absence of a 'setlocale', necessary under NLS support.
Thus, when that ancient library tested for locale, all
it got was 'ANSI_...' & assumed 'UTF-8' wasn't active.

But after a hack to that ancient code to place it on a
par with newlib/master, I still found cost differences
that led me to revisit an old change referenced below.

It turns out that 'iswprint' costs far more than would
a call of 'isprint', even with the extra support code.
So this commit just reverts that five year old change.

acda6f40d1 library: miscellaneous additional efficiencies, <pids>
This patch contains the following miscellaneous stuff:

. The pids_stacks_fetch() routine might call for newly
allocated stacks to be itemized. However, that job was
already tended to by the pids_stacks_alloc() function.

So, this patch just eliminates a redundant invocation.
------------------------------------------------------

. The concept of 'dirty_stacks' has not kept pace with
the evolving stacks implementation. Originally, stacks
were considered dirty only if free() of dynamic memory
was needed before refreshing any single result struct.

Later, with the introduction of the 'extra' item and a
promise to reset it to zero, 'dirty' was much broader.

So, this patch just treats the dirty flg as others do.
------------------------------------------------------

. Lastly, a word or three about performance & timings.

Tuning efforts concentrated on the <pids> API and top.
And unless an oldlib equivalent to the preceding patch
is applied (favoring stat vs. status), newlib top will
often outperform the oldlib version (obviously wrong).

So assuming /proc/stat is preferred in both libraries,
generally speaking, a cpu and elapsed time increase of
1-5% was found for this new stacks oriented interface.
Of course, there's also an increased memory footprint.

There are some occasions, however, when the newlib top
is at a substantial disadvantage. For example if WCHAN
or TTY is displayed, such items will be present in all
newlib reaped stacks (i.e. every process). But old top
would only incur such overhead with displayable tasks.

Thus, oldlib top could outperform newlib by up to 25%,
for example, if only fields requiring NO library flags
were displayed. However, such a scenario is not likely
since only GID, UID, PID, TGID & WCHAN would be shown.
In the usual case, that overhead associated with WCHAN
and/or TTY is overshadowed by other top runtime costs.

All in all a pleasing outcome I deem quite acceptable.

e9c101edcb library: prefer /proc/stat before /proc/status, <pids>
Long ago, in a galaxy far away (when top was in charge
of library FILL flgs) /proc/status was to be preferred
over /proc/stat if a field could be satisfied by both.

This was done to avoid costly 64-bit math emulation in
a 32-bit application due to 'unsigned long long' data.

Well it's time to acknowledge the prevalence of 64-bit
platforms. And in such an environment the cost picture
has shifted significantly. It now costs 14 times (wow)
as much to access /proc/status compared to /proc/stat.

In other words, even with '%llu' variables, a sscanf()
call in stat2proc() beats the pants off that home brew
gperf based hashing employed by the status2proc() guy.
In fact, status2proc incurs higher costs than found in
the most expensive aspect of top's forest view option.

Here's a gprof extract to illustrate the costs. It was
produced with an rcfile requiring fields from both the
/proc/stat & /proc/status pseudo files (among others).
There were 5000 iterations in each of 4 separate gprof
runs subsequently merged into 1 gmon.sum for analysis.

  %      self              self
 time   seconds    calls  us/call  name
 -----  -------  -------  -------  -----------
 28.65     4.10  4689423     0.87  status2proc
 26.14     3.74    40000    93.50  forest_adds
 ...
 01.96     0.28  4689427     0.06  stat2proc

[ since forest_adds is recursive, the calls value is ]
[ the non-recursive #, its 'call graph' shows totals ]

Anyway, now that such cost is known this patch becomes
what is euphemistically known as the usual no-brainer.

[ jeeze, was it really this long between profilings? ]

09e1886c9e library: expand fields yet maintain ABI, <MEMINFO> api
With the 4.8 kernel, 2 new fields will be added to the
meminfo pseudo file. This commit, soon to be replaced,
is intended as an example of how such changes might be
incorporated plus still maintain binary compatibility.

This actually goes further than is strictly necessary,
by retaining meminfo_item ordering for 'set' functions
and the creation of hash table entries. However, there
is only 1 true requirement, that of Item_table entries
which must always agree exactly with item enumerators.
All of the other changes could be done alphabetically.

Ok, so what happens when an old program encounters the
new expanded meminfo items? Well, if it was thoroughly
tested against an old library, it won't even see those
new fields. On the other hand, if it somehow exceeds a
previous MEMINFO_logical_end, then it will just get an
extra result structure or two, with no real harm done.

[ so that our iniitial newlib release can maintain a ]
[ strict alphabetic ordering in all areas initially! ]

bef8c7fb70 library: ensure that all those 'GET' macros are robust
When users call the native 'get' functions they have a
responsibility to check that the result struct address
was indeed returned. But when using those 'GET' macros
there was no protection for possible NULL dereference.

So this patch will add some protection for a potential
failure of an underlying 'get' function. And should it
occur then those 'GET' macros will just return a zero.

Plus, we'll also mirror that behavior in the debugging
header should the XTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG #define be active.
And, we might as well add a warning when invalid items
are passed to 'GET' macros, just like we do for 'VAL'.

But with procps-ng newlib, we've probably gone way too
far. Did 'PROCPS_PIDS_TICS_SYSTEM' actually offer more
protection against clash than 'PIDS_TICS_SYSTEM' does?

I don't think so. Besides, no matter how big that name
becomes, one can never guarantee they'll never be some
clash. And, conversely, extremely short names will not
always create conflict. Of course, in either case when
some clash occurs, one can always #undef that problem.

Thus, this commit will eliminate that 'PROCPS_' prefix
making all of those enum identifiers a little shorter.
And, we'll still be well above some ridiculously short
(criminally short) names found in some common headers:

- - - - - - - - - - <term.h>
- 'tab', 'TTY', etc
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <search.h>
- 'ENTER', ENTRY', 'FIND', etc

------------------------------------------------------
Finally, with this as a last of the wholesale changes,
we will have established the naming conventions below:

. only functions will begin with that 'procps_' prefix
. exposed structures begin with the module/header name
. item enumerators begin like structs, but capitalized
. other enumerators work exactly like item enumerators
. macros and constants begin just like the enumerators

82d5661603 library: standardize all the 'context' structure names
This patch attempts to standardize the naming of those
most important (declared not defined) context structs.

The present practice represents a hodge podge of names
only some of which reflect the source /proc file name.
And 2 of those file names embed a literal 'info' which
is likely the origin of that required parm identifier.

Now we'll append a universal '_info' to such structure
names, while including the names of those /proc pseudo
files where possible. In any case, that context struct
will *always* begin with the actual module/header file
name. And only the following two sound a little weird!

---------> 'meminfo_info' + 'slabinfo_info' <---------

69557ac9dc vmstat: adapted for changes in an i/f, <DISKSTATS> api
This patch is a response to changes to the <diskstats>
interface. And the following represents the summary of
significant unrelated alterations that were also made.

+ corrected that 'milli weighted IO' output, which has
been wrong since that original patch referenced below.
as implemented, it duplicated 'milli spent IO' output.

+ restored original commit intent regarding disks with
a partition switch as represented in references below.

+ moved all item enumerators up near the source start.

+ removed all remaining tabs and inconsistent indents.

+ reformatted the silly style applied to 'xerrx' uses.

ecd64f4445 library: normalize/standardize an i/f, <DISKSTATS> api
This patch will bring this interface up to our 3rd gen
standards. The following summarizes the major changes.

* New delta provisions have been added to most fields.

There are, of course, some fields for which a delta is
inappropriate. They include the identifying items such
as name, type, major and minor. Plus the io_inprogress
field which already acts, in effect, as a delta value.

* To provide delta support, dev_node historical values
have become persistent. By the same token, the library
must provide for future removal of disks/partitions. A
timestamp is used to detect 'stale' data which will be
deleted so as not to satisfy some get, select or reap.

* Such persistent support is provided by a linked list
which, by default, grows from the bottom down so as to
maintain compatibility with the /proc/diskstats order.

Initially, I was tempted to use the GNU tsearch (tree)
provisions until I discovered the overhead of building
that tree plus costs of a subsequent 'twalk'. Besides,
walking such a tree means retrieval order would differ
from an order required/expected by the vmstat program.

* The '/sys/block' directory is no longer scanned with
every refresh cycle. Rather, it's only accessed when a
node is first encountered. Then, that node's 'type' is
persistent for its lifetime like several other fields.

* A sort provision was included, at virtually no cost,
even though such a provision was not currently needed.

8e5d5e44e9 library: rename 'diskstat' source as 'diskstats' files
Where possible, libprocps files convey the name of the
actual source pseudo file under the '/proc' directory.

This brings diskstats into line with such an approach.

634d115cca top: make compilation possible under netbsd-curses too
Whoa, I had never considered an alternative to ncurses
until the issue referenced below was raised. Thus, I'm
surprised to find that 'tparm' was the only impediment
to ultimately utilizing this alternate curses library.

And, while we could have substituted that non-standard
'tiparm' with only 2 arguments, we'll utilize the full
parms compliment in the spirit of that original patch.

Frankly, the task of developing an alternative library
to that ncurses implementation really boggles my mind.

Congratulations to rofl0r, whoever that masked man is.

c767adf974 top: due to <STAT> api, relocate that NUMA stderr hack
So as to avoid that potential (and inappropriate) numa
library spew to stderr, plus some resulting corruption
of top's display, top buffered stderr output until the
program ended. However, under our new library, timings
have changed meaning the corruption could occur again.

So this patch just relocates the stderr redirect to an
earlier startup point ahead of the 1st call to <STAT>.

[ plus we also fiddle just a tad with a few comments ]
